Chapter 118 What are you thinking about?
"Originally the autumn grass was together, but now it is light with the evening breeze. It flies into the sky like a falling star, and brushes against the trees like blooming flowers." Liu Wangxue recited it softly.
Gu Qingyue continued, "The screen seems to be illuminated by divine fire, and the curtains are as bright as night pearls. I pick up the glory when I meet you, and I am not stingy with my life."
Liu Wangxue turned around and high-fived her: "My dear friend, you are beautiful!"
Gu Qingyue said: "In fact, I prefer the poem by Li Bai, 'The lamp is hard to be extinguished by rain, and becomes brighter by wind. If it had not gone to the sky, it would have become a star beside the moon.'"
Liu Wangxue nodded: "The imagination is beautiful, revealing a straightforward and lively emotion, and 'the wind blows and the colors become brighter' really corresponds to the scenery in front of us."
Shen Nian'an joined the discussion: "It is said that this poem was written by Li Bai when he was ten years old..."
The topic then turned to Li Bai.
Gu Xuelan is a history teacher. She knows all about these celebrities and can talk about them in detail as if she were giving a lecture.
Wang Keng's recent novel has Li Bai as the protagonist, and he has done quite a bit of research on this "Poet Immortal", so he also joined the discussion.
Then everyone talked one after another, from Li Bai to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, from Du Fu to the late Tang Dynasty, and finally turned to Sichuan and Chongqing.
Tao Huayu, Yue Cheng, and Lan Xiaoxi gathered together, as if the scene of Taoyuan was recreated. Tao Huayu whispered, "It has started again."
Yue Cheng echoed: "A large-scale massacre of academic bullies."
Lan Xiaoxi pointed at the two children playing with the cat and dog and said, "Let's sit at the children's table."
The three of them moved at the same time.
After going around in circles, the topic returned to Li Bai's poem "Ode to Fireflies".
Gu Qingyue said: "A few days ago, I was in Sichuan and Chongqing, and I happened to see fireflies while camping with students. I taught them this poem by the way."
Seeing that their topic was coming to an end, the three of them came back with their children, cats and dogs. Tao Huayu took the opportunity to ask, "Which one is better, that one or this one?"
"Yeah, it's a different feeling. There are mountains and forests over there, and there are fields over here." Gu Qingyue said.
No matter how accustomed he is to it, Tao Huayu still wants to support his hometown: "The fields are still beautiful, and the view is broad."
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi cheered: "No problem!"
Everyone expressed their support. Wang Keng looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock. They went out for a walk and talked for a long time.
Wang Keng apologized: "It's almost time, I have to go back." During the conversation just now, he had a lot of inspiration, and he really wanted to go back and write them down.
The few people who had brought their cell phones looked at the time and realized that it was time to go back.
"Dad, are we going home?" Youyou asked Shen Nian'an while holding a lotus leaf picked by Tao Huayu, "I want to take the fireflies home."
Shen Nian'an said: "Yes, if Firefly is willing."
"Well, then, how can you be willing?" Youyou asked.
Gu Qingyue suggested: "Go and ask them. If any one of them is willing to go home with you, they can fly to your lotus leaf and then you can take them away."
Jinghe covered his mouth and laughed.
Youyou really walked a few steps to the side of the road and said to the group of fireflies: "Little stars, if you are willing to go home with me, please fly to the lotus leaves~"
A group of adults were waiting nearby, looking at this innocent little kid with smiles in their eyes.
Youyou waited for a few seconds, but no firefly "answered" him, so he asked again, and then the group of fireflies flew away.
Youyou was sad, so she ran back and hugged Gu Qingyue's legs: "Mom, they don't want to go home with me, why?"
Shen Nian'an came over and picked up little Youzi, and walked back with everyone else: "Because they have a home too, and they have to go back to their home. If you go to a strange place and never see your parents again, are you willing?"
Youyou put her arms around his neck: "I don't want to!"
"The same goes for this," Shen Nian'an said, "They don't want to do that either."
"Okay then." Youyou said, "But I want to take it home and show it to my little brother."
Shen Nian'an discussed with him: "We all took photos, it's okay to show them to the little brother."
Youyou thought about it and felt that the little brother was so pitiful that he couldn't see the fireflies and little stars, but the little stars didn't want to go with him, and he had no choice. He sighed: "Oh, okay then."
"Little guy." Shen Nian'an smiled and touched his head.
After returning to the courtyard, everyone had to help clean up the kitchen. Gu Xuelan didn't let him. He asked Wang Keng, Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi to go back quickly: "It's late, you are far away, don't delay any longer."
Wang Keng didn't bother to be polite. He said hello, said he would visit again another day, and then rode away on his electric scooter.
Yue Cheng and Lan Xiaoxi then drove back home.
"You guys should go back as well," Gu Xuelan said to Shen Nian'an and his wife, "I think Youyou is getting sleepy, go back and tidy up the kids so they can go to bed early. They are still young, so don't stay up late."
On the way back, Youyou was already lying on Shen Nian'an's shoulder rubbing her eyes. He and Gu Qingyue listened to his advice, took their things, and took the two children back.
The remaining few people either lived next door or very nearby, so they didn't leave and helped clean the kitchen, barbecue utensils and other items before going back.
Du Yunkai wanted to drink more tea, but Xu Qingsong dragged him away without any explanation: "Don't you see what time it is? You can drink at any time. Why can't you miss a cup of tea?"
Liu Wangxue hugged the cat and said with a smile, "Tomorrow, Mr. Du, you can order whatever you want to drink."
Jin Zhaofei went to the living room to get his backpack, and went back with Xu Qingsong and the others.
Xu Qingsong also has two bedrooms, one for Xu Qingsong himself, and the other one originally belonged to his parents, but now Du Yunkai sleeps in it. Li Yu slept in the living room last night. The sofa in the living room is double-decker, and it can be turned into a bed when it is pulled out.
Now that Jin Zhaofei was here, he gave him the sofa bed, and Li Yu and Tao Huayu went home together.
Before leaving, Du Yunkai called Li Yu: "Xiao Yu, are you free tomorrow?"
Li Yu nodded. He had nothing to do these days, and Old Li wouldn't let him go for the time being, so he let him have a good rest for a few days.
Du Yunkai said, "Then come over tomorrow. Lao Xu and I need your help with something."
"Okay." Li Yu agreed.
Tao Huayu asked Xu Qingsong, "What's the matter?"
Xu Qingsong walked towards his own courtyard door: "I can't finish a few words, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Tao Huayu drove the car and took Li Yu away.
Jin Zhaofei followed Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai into the yard. He finally understood: "Boss, isn't your house next door?"
Xu Qingsong looked confused.
After Jin Zhaofei brainstormed, he understood it in a self-righteous way, and suddenly realized: "Oh! So one of the reasons why you don't want to go back to Hai City is because you want to pursue the beautiful girl named Liu next door!"
He also secretly observed that night and felt that the two of them didn't seem to be in a relationship, and it seemed that the girl had no intention of that kind towards his boss at all.
Xu Qingsong slapped Jin Zhaofei on the forehead amid Du Yunkai's laughter: "What are you thinking about? He's the chief screenwriter of our PC game!"
I listened to the song, "This Life is Full of Joy"
I was touched by the lyrics
"If you can let go of your worries in this life, embrace the sea, and see the spring flowers blooming, all you will experience is love, no matter good or evil. I hope that the sun will rise and the clouds will clear, and I will see the mountains and the sea. Life does not need to be too exciting."
Isn't this the purpose of my 30,000!!! I love it so much!!!
